@scrid2000 Have you included <feature id="blackberry.invoke" required="true" version="1.0.0.0"/> in your config.xml file?
You you should also have remote.makeAsyncCall(); at the end of your function.

Thanks for the help icq.
I just tried:

<script>
function launchMail() { 
var remote = new blackberry.transport.RemoteFunctionCall("blackberry/invoke/invoke");
remote.addParam("appType", "mailto:?Subject=SubjectStr&body=" + encodeURIComponent(BodyStr));
remote.makeAsyncCall();
}
</script>
<img src="img/messages.png" onclick="launchMail()" />

and still no go. :confused:

Yes, I have <feature id="blackberry.invoke" required="true" version="1.0.0"/> in the config.

Not sure what's going on.

(edit - added the () to the launchMail command, left it out of the forum post by mistake)

[icq782443]

your onClick shoud be onClick="launchMail()" let me know if that helps.

and I assume you are defining BodyStr somewhere right?

[scrid2000]

Ah right, yeah in the code it is "onClick="launchMail()", that was a forum post typo on my end.

I'm not defining a body string, actually in a more recent attempt I just tried to launch "mailto:email@email.com" and it was no go.

[icq782443]

remote.addParam("appType", "mailto:?Subject=SubjectStr&body=Test");

Try the above line... I'm now on the road so I'm afraid I can't help much more.

On your PlayBook or in the simulator?

[scrid2000]

On the PlayBook. There's no email client on the simulator is there?

[lcocea]

That's right.

I'll have a look at my setup when I get home.

[lcocea]

In my config.xml I use

<feature id="blackberry.invoke" />

Your code (with body=Test as suggested by icq782443) runs as expected on my PB. You need to make sure the makeAsyncCall() statement is reached.
